for anybody who doen't know, it is like a jagmaster with a strat pickup layout except the early models have the pickups under the pickguard 😁
A) the Marauders were never issued, therefore it would be very hard to reissue them. (they only made it to the prototype stage)
😎 The second version of the Marauder is way cooler than the first one.
C) It is much more than a Jagmaster with a Strat pickup layout because:
-The body shape is like a Strat and a Jag put together
-The trem is much more like a dynamic vibrato than a strat trem
-The Marauder has 7 switches, 2 regular knobs, and 2 roller knobs
I would assume, judging by the layout of the controls that work kinda like this:
3 switches= individual pickup on/off switches
2 switches= bridge and neck pickup phase switches
1 switch= rhythm/lead circuit switch
1 switch= strangle switch for lead circuit
Regular knobs= volume/tone for lead circuit
Roller knobs= volume/tone for rhythm circuit
D) Nobody cares about the earlier Marauders because the pickups under the p/g idea didn't work (Fender stopped development because it wasn't working and the guy had to take his idea to Rickenbacker, and I don't think their version ever got past prototype stage either)
E) Because nobody cares about the earlier Marauders I won't go into detail on them
F) 
G) but you're right it would be nice to see the second version of the Marauder released
